The child has a high fever.
Hearing the commotion at the door, Momo's heart skipped a beat. Her face turned green and white as she looked at the person nervously. Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what to do. She just resigned herself to fate.
Secretary Jiang walked in with an unfriendly expression. "Your Highness, we won't let this matter rest. We will file an appeal for you to kidnap He Shao. I hope you can prepare for it."
He spoke very formally. Momo panicked. If her uncle knew what she did, he wouldn't let her off. What should she do?
Just as Momo was at her wit's end, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder. Momo was shocked. She turned around and saw He Shaochen standing beside her. His eyes were cold and cold. "Who allowed you to touch her?"
This time, everyone present was shocked.
Momo's eyes glowed. She was overjoyed. Did the hypnosis succeed?
Secretary Jiang, on the other hand, looked at He Shaochen in surprise. Just now, he was still in the position of debating with the group of scholars, but after He Shaochen's words, he completely lost his confidence. "Master He, I …"
He Shaochen's eyes were cold. He held Momo's hand and looked around at everyone. He said loudly, "I'm here. No one can touch her!"

Qiao Qiao browsed through all the major forums. Many people were talking about her and Momo. There were even people who started a poll to see who was more suitable to be the queen.
Of course, her votes were still much higher than Mo Mo's, but there were also a lot of curses. There were even people who listed out the top ten crimes. Seeing this, she was infuriated. She simply turned off her computer and lay on the bed, staring at her phone in a daze. What was going on these past few days?
He Shaochen didn't show up. He didn't even send her a message. Even when she called, no one picked up.
She started to feel anxious. She felt that something bad was going to happen.
If He Shaochen disappeared again tonight, she would go look for him.
The result was obvious. He Shaochen still did not call.
The next day, Qiao Qiao was about to go to He Family to look for him. However, she learned that the two children had started to have a fever. Qiao Qiao was so scared that her legs turned to jelly and she hurried to the baby's room.
"What's going on? Wasn't he still fine last night? Why do you suddenly have a fever? " Qiaoqiao's expression was very ugly. She ran to the side of the crib and saw that the two little guys' faces were as red as tomatoes. They couldn't even open their eyes and kept crying until their throats were hoarse.
Qiao Qiao's heart ached. She put her hand on the child's forehead, which was burning hot.
"How on earth are you taking care of the child?" Qiao Qiao was furious.
The wet nurse and the maids all knelt down. One of them stood up and cried, "Queen, it's my fault. I didn't notice that I had a cold. The little highnesses were infected by me …"
Qiaoqiao clenched her fists tightly. Looking at the weeping beauty, Qiaoqiao's already irritated mood became even worse.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. The little highnesses have a fever, but it's not serious. Get someone to wipe the little highnesses with warm water. Let's lower their body temperature first," the doctor said after checking the children.
Qiao Qiao's heart sank when she heard that the condition wasn't serious. However, her heart still ached. She had the flu a while ago, so she didn't dare to get close to the children. She could only watch from outside the room for a while. In the end, she just recovered, and the children fell sick. She felt like her life was haunted by a disease.
It was very painful and torturous. She didn't know when these days would end.
The matter of looking for He Shaochen was also put on hold. She stayed to take care of the children.
When Adam heard the news, he hurried back.
Just as he walked to the door, he saw Qiao Qiao leaning against the bed. Half of her body was out of the bed, looking after the two children.
He walked in quietly and asked in a low voice, "Lilith, how are the little highnesses? Are they serious? "
Qiao Qiao looked at him tiredly and shook her head. "Their body temperature has returned to normal. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. With so many people taking care of them, they should be fine."
Adam sighed in relief after hearing this. Then, he frowned and looked at the others in the room. "How did you take care of the little highnesses? There are so many people. Are they all useless? "
The wet nurse who had stopped crying just now knelt down and cried again. "Your Excellency, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
"Oh? The reason is with you? " A trace of ruthlessness flashed through Adam's dark red eyes. He looked at the other party coldly and laughed sinisterly. "Since you dared to stand up, then you should be prepared to be punished, right?"
The wet nurse was frightened by these words. Her face was pale and she trembled like a sieve. "Your Excellency, I, I …"
"Your Excellency, please spare my life! Please spare my life! " The other party didn't say anything and directly kowtowed to Adam. Her forehead collided with the hard ground, making a dull sound. Just by hearing this sound, one could tell how painful it was.
Qiao Qiao was still soft-hearted. Although she also complained about the wet nurse's incompetence and almost harmed the children, if she was handed over to Adam to deal with, even if she didn't die, she would lose a layer of skin. She said to Adam indifferently, "Forget it. I believe she didn't do it on purpose. However, I don't need careless people to take care of my children. Dismiss her."
"Let her go just like that?" Adam was very dissatisfied with this treatment. People who hurt the Little Highness were also enemies.
Qiao Qiao shook her head. "Forget it. I don't want to complicate matters."
Adam couldn't persuade Qiao Qiao, so he could only compromise.
After the children fell asleep, Qiao Qiao found Adam and asked him about He Shaochen's situation.
"He hasn't come over for a few days. He didn't answer my calls and didn't send a text message. I'm worried that something happened to him."
Adam's expression changed. He turned his head slightly and said calmly, "Mr. He has been busy these days. I think he might be too tired, so he missed your call."
"Is that so? But he clearly said … "Qiao Qiao stopped talking halfway. No matter how busy he was, he had to call her. Although he said that, when he was really busy, who would have so much energy?
She lowered her head and muttered, "I know that I should be more sensible when he's busy. But Sijie and Sichu are both sick. He's the children's father. He should come back to visit them."
"Erm, Mr. He is very busy …"
Adam still said the same thing.
Qiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Adam suspiciously. "Adam, you didn't speak up for He Shaochen like this in the past. Also, how do you know that he's very busy? Did you guys talk in private? Did something happen to him? Why did you hide it from me? "
"Mr. He is fine."
Adam quickly refuted.
He added in his heart, "It's just that your brain isn't normal."
"Is he really fine?"
"Lilith, you've just recovered from the flu. What if you get sick again after you go out? Do you want to not see the Little Highness for a few days again? " Adam's words hit Qiao Qiao's soft spot. Qiao Qiao was indeed very worried about the children and wanted to stay by their side to take care of them.
"Well, alright then. But can you send someone to pass a message to Shaochen and ask him to squeeze out some time to visit the children? Is that okay?"
Adam nodded absent-mindedly. "Okay, I'll inform him immediately."
In the end, the message took another two days.
He Shaochen did not contact Qiao Qiao for a full five days.
Soon after, a piece of breaking news blew up J Country. It also made Qiao Qiao completely forget about He Shaochen.
The news that the Queen was seriously ill and suffering from an incurable disease spread throughout the country.
On the website, a paper that listed how incompetent Qiao Qiao was as the Queen also went viral. Previously, Qiao Qiao had a vague attitude towards the use of live experiments on He Clan, but it had been suppressed. But recently, this matter had been hyped up again. In addition, the paper pointed out that Qiao Qiao had concealed the truth about her illness and pushed everything to her executive officer, Adam. This made the citizens even more dissatisfied.
Who was the real ruler of this country?
The wave of denunciations was endless, making Qiao Qiao tired of dealing with it.
"Lilith, are you going to do this?"
"If I don't show up, those people won't stop. Besides, I've been in Holy Glory Palace for too long. It's time to go out and meet people." Qiao Qiao packed her luggage. She believed that all of this was done by the J Organisation behind the scenes, relying on the fact that they still had Freya as their trump card.
"Then what are you going to do when you go out?" Adam continued to ask.
Qiao Qiao shrugged. "I don't know."
"…"
"But if we don't go out, we can't do anything. We can't just sit here and wait for death, right?"
"…"
